Blog Subject: | Greetings |
Hello Ms. Ada, or Mr. Ada, Not sure because I have not read much of the information in your blog, but I have read enough to become interested to the point were I want to comment on you. I noticed that you seem to be everywhere in this forum, so this has peaked my interest. I read some of you entries only to notice that I share striking similarities with you in many levels, but I wish to digress no further. As I have not completely read what you wrote, I want to comment with what I currently know about the following: "Fell off the wagon. In fact I didn't fall, I threw myself off and rolled in the dust for five hours last night and I'm still doing it today. I've been awake 6hrs: 2hrs of that has been productive, 4hrs spent in a fantasy. If daydreaming were a real problem it would have been DSMed to death years ago. So it's an imaginary problem. Irony alert. The problem is my having problem with it. It doesn't hurt anyone, no-one even knows, I'm no less productive than the average TV watcher, what good is feeling angry or empty when I might just as well be feeling content. No" You claim that daydreaming really does not "affect" you. I wonder, if you have been daydreaming for such a long period of time, how can you compare your level of productivity with past levels of productivity if you have been daydreaming for so long? I also have strong issues with daydreaming. At one point, it was so prevalent that it sapped my energy without me knowing. That constant fantasizing had driven me to lose. I feel that your main objective in fantasizing is feeling good, and by not fantasizing, what is there to do with so much time? My desire to fantasize has come from intense creativity. Simply imagining myself doing other things. Yet, I feel it is because my mind wants to entertain the endless possibilities. I wish to address this issue, and will be keeping in touch with your postings. |

Hi rosamel and welcome to the forum. Just to let you know, it's hard to keep track of blog conversations with our software. So most discussion is done here through forum threads [there's a "View Your Posts" option to help.] Luckily another mod mentioned that your post was waiting for approval here. ![]() My daydreaming has gone in phases. Sometimes it's hours every day. Sometimes it's just an hour or two before sleeping. And where I've cut it out entirely. I've had great days and then days full of mooching about on the internet. Posting dozens of posts here ![]() In terms of feeling good, yes, that's a motivation. My commonest reasons are boredom, anxiety, loneliness and habit. Which covers a tonne of time between them. ![]() I look forward to reading about your own explorations. Hope it's helpful to be here! |

This place certainly is rewarding. Come to believe, part of the reason for me being here is because media is also tiring. Being a highly logical person that I am, I sometimes need an exit to all the software programming and self-improvement that I come across. In dealing with those issues that you posted earlier ago, I have had trouble finding the solution, but I have found something that makes sense to me. Boredom, anxiety...etc are qualities of the mind. Once one understands the ability to be outside of the mind, these problems should naturally subside. I have tried it a few times, but have not been successful at keeping that level of understanding(which in itself is a misleading word in explaining the terminology). If you have time, I recommend you read the works of Eckhart Tolle, he does a better job at describing being than I do. |
